Overview: The S&C 6801 Automatic Switch Control is designed for outdoor pole-mounted gear, integrating sophisticated automatic control schemes with RTU functionality, data logging, and advanced communication capabilities. It manages distribution switches and can automatically sectionalize a feeder based on overcurrent, loss of voltage, and phase unbalance.

Automatic Control and Restoration: The control can be equipped with the S&C IntelliTEAM SG™ Automatic Restoration System, allowing multiple switch controls to work as teams using peer-to-peer communication. This system quickly transfers load and minimizes customer impact during faults or outages without requiring central processing or SCADA supervision.

Remote Operation: The system requires S&C SpeedNet™ Radios or fiber-optic transceivers for IntelliTEAM SG operation and supports multiple gateway communication protocols for SCADA system integration.

Compatibility: The 6801 Controls support various switching devices, including S&C Scada-Mate® and Scada-Mate CX™ Switches.

Signal Processing and Fault Detection: The controls provide true RMS measurements with high accuracy and are configured for fault detection, allowing for customizable fault magnitude, duration, and inrush restraint set points.

Automatic Sectionalizing: The controls enhance circuit reliability by coordinating with source-side reclosing devices, reducing service loss, and pinpointing faulted line sections.

Loss of Phase Protection: The controls protect three-phase loads from single-phasing by automatically opening the switch if phases become unbalanced.

Software and Control Architecture: The controls run on a reliable operating system and can be upgraded easily. Configuration is user-friendly with IntelliLINK® Setup Software, and remote configuration is possible with optional software.

Data Logging: Extensive data logging capabilities include voltage, current, kVARs, and power factor logging. GPS time-stamping enhances data accuracy, aiding in circuit problem analysis and system optimization.

Field-Proven Design: The controls are built with field-proven technology and manufactured in an ISO 9001-certified facility, ensuring reliability and success in restoration systems.

Communication and Power Supply: The controls feature multiple communication ports and support various communication hardware and protocols. A single power supply system ensures efficiency and reliability, with automatic battery condition checks.

Electrical and Environmental Specifications: The controls operate within specified voltage ranges and are designed to withstand various environmental conditions, ensuring durability and performance.
